Bizianes Music Mart
2317 Bardstown Road
Louisville, KY 40205-2120
(502) 459-4686Note: Currently he has one soprano Aria uke in stock (which was a nice player), but the owner told me he has started working with Lanikai. They're sending a "Hang 10" surf display that will include 10 Lanikai ukes (including a cut-out). Sour note: the owner is a smoking fiend. I couldn't stay in there very long because my asthma was getting bad. No web site.

Nana ka maka; ho`olohe ka pepeiao;

Observe with the eyes; listen with the ears; shut the mouth.
Thus one learns.
